    I told you before, age has affected Hopkins very little throughout his career, you can clearly see that. Don't just look at the number and say, oh he must be washed up.

What a joke. He has surpassed Hatton since he was exposed by Mayweather. These Brits will also have you thinking Amir Khan will fight a real fighter some time soon when he's really 10-15 fights and a few years away from fighting fringe contenders...
      yes!! read the thread about how that brit thinks he could KO sugar ray robinson......................all brit fighters are overhyped, doesnt mean they arent good but they are inflated by their fans bigtime

        Heavyweight boxing is a ****ing disgrace, so you can't say **** about the Cruiserweight division you knob!
        The Cruiserweight division IS and always has been the ****tiest division in boxing...Haye's best win in his career was against the glass chinned bum Macca.....I'M NOT IMPRESSED.

          i agree with you there, david haye has great potential as a HW but for guys to make threads saying how he would go against joe louis...............when hasnt even fought at HW yet!!!! thats overhype

          but klitchsko is overhyped too, more so than all the british fighters put together

            Yes. They do exactly that.

            They seem to think the European Circuit is as good as the U.S.'s.

                I'm not looking at his age. He runs out of gas quickly in every fight since DLH. He throws one punch at a time and hold because he has no stamina. He has been past his best for years...

                    I think 168 is worse. There are some decent contenders at cruiser, but there hasn't been anyone worth mention at 168 in over a decade...
